11.  On 4 April 2000 the Mykolayiv Arbitration Court found in favour of the applicant and ordered to provide him with a plot of land of 22 hectares indicated on the plan of the public reserved lands of the Novyy Bug City Council. The court ordered the Mykolayiv Department of the Institute of the Land Tenure (Миколаївська філія Інституту землеустрою) to provide the applicant in kind with that plot. The Novyy Bug City Council was ordered to issue the act for permanent use of the mentioned plot by the applicant. By the same judgment, the decisions of the Novyy Bug City Council and the Novyy Bug District Council of 11 February and 24 March 2000 were found null and void. The court also ordered to issue the execution writ, thus the judgment became final and binding immediately upon its adoption.

18.  On 3 September 2001 the Head of the Bailiffs' Service drew up a report in which was certified the lack of public reserved lands designated for farming, and on 10 October 2001 terminated the enforcement proceedings.
19.  On 22 March 2002 the Mykolayiv Commercial Court found the decision to terminate the enforcement proceedings unlawful. In particular, the court established that the bailiff had not duly verified the lack or availability of public reserved lands. The court gave notice to the Prosecutor's Office to the effect that criminal proceedings should be brought against the bailiff.
20.  On 18 October 2002 the Mykolayiv Regional Prosecutor's Office (hereafter “Regional Prosecutor”) rejected the Mykolayiv Commercial Court's request to institute criminal proceedings against the Bailiffs for failure to enforce the above-mentioned judgment.
21.  By a letter of 28 January 2003 the Regional Prosecutor informed the applicant that the decision of 18 October 2002 had been quashed as being premature and that the case had been remitted for a further preliminary investigation.
22.  In a letter of 11 March 2004 the Regional Prosecutor stated that the Bailiffs had unlawfully terminated the enforcement proceedings without taking all relevant and appropriate measures to ensure the execution of the court judgment given in the applicant's favour. In particular, the Bailiffs had failed to fine the officials of the Novyy Bug City and District Municipal Councils for having impeded the enforcement proceedings and to request the court to clarify the procedure for enforcement of the judgment. On the basis of these considerations, the prosecutor challenged the Bailiff's decision to terminate the proceedings.
23.  On 9 April 2004 the Head of the Bailiffs Service rejected the applicant's complaint about the termination of the enforcement proceedings due to the applicant's failure to respect the time-limit for challenging the relevant decision of 10 October 2001.
